Tuesday, September 3

Science: Welcome back! Every student who returns their syllabus signed by a parent/guardian tomorrow is entered into the drawing for a free Slurpee delivered at lunch next Monday, one winner every hour! We also took a pre-test on the main objectives covered in 8th grade science.

Humanities (Lyskawa): -Welcome back students!!  I hope you had a wonderful first day! No homework.

Algebra: We started taking a pre-assessment today.  I should have been very difficult because it was assessing what I will be teaching this year.  We will finish that up tomorrow. Students must have a composition book by tomorrow (or $ 0.50).  A scientific calculator will also be helpful.

Advanced Art Grade 8: Hour 6 Welcome to the biggest Advanced Art class yet! 27 students! Required supplies for the class:
* sketchbook 11x14 smallest size, 12x16 ok 14x17 ok
*portfolio can be the paper portfolio (cheapest) or the canvas or the portfolio with sleeves 20x26 or 23x31
 Each student will be supplied with one ebony pencil, one kneaded eraser and one blending stump. I suggest picking up another of each to have on hand!

Spanish (Tomlinson): No home practice today . . . just remember to bring a binder, paper, your text, and pen/pencil to class.

Geometry: Students took an assessment of their van Hiele level to determine their current level of geometric thinking. Every student who returns their syllabus signed by a parent/guardian tomorrow is entered into the drawing for a free Slurpee delivered at lunch next Monday, one winner every hour!
